I actually used to have a similar bike (well it was my sisters) very similar except it had a v-brake on the front. I put some wide MTB risers on it and it felt like a bit like a cruiser, but lighter/faster with much better riding position. It had a very study rack on it too. The bike got stolen though, I locked it up outside the SAAB place next to the rainbow. I always had the sneaking suspicion that the saab people removed it.
